The 2009-2012 Porsche Cayman Coupe 987.2, a mid-engine sports car, was lauded for its exceptional handling, balanced chassis, and engaging driving experience, often considered a purist's Porsche. While sometimes overshadowed by its 911 sibling, it's famous for offering superb performance and precision. It remains well-suited today as a thrilling driver's car for enthusiasts seeking a refined, responsive, and relatively practical sports coupe for spirited drives or weekend track days.
Operating a 2009-2012 Porsche Cayman (987.2) generally involves higher-than-average expenses. Reliability is strong for this generation, as the problematic IMS bearing issue of earlier models was resolved. However, maintenance costs are elevated due to specialized parts and labor; expect higher prices for routine services, brakes, and tires, especially if driven spiritedly. A notable potential unusual cost could be for PDK transmission service if not previously performed, or suspension components over time. Insurance can be high, reflecting its status as a performance vehicle. Unlike some exotics, significant unexpected repairs are less common, but when they do arise, they are costly.
